Starhawk may sadly not be one of the many games Sony is releasing this Holiday season, but the game already has a loyal following due to its pedigree (it’s from the team that gave us Warhawk) and it’s a freaking action game set in space with intense ground and aerial battles. As a veteran Warhawk player I was blown away by what developer Lightbox Interactive had devised with Starhawk and I was completely floored when I had the chance to play the game at E3 earlier this year.

There’s a fair few gaming conventions that are showcased through-out the year, both public and trade. Penny Arcade as pushed its way to the top of the heap by being a gaming show for gamers, and subsequently gets away with a lot that the others shows can’t. One of my favorite examples of how PA runs the show is the PAX 10; a yearly collection of the top 10 best in the indie gaming world.
